I am sorry for the snappish tone, Alexander; it was not meant that way.
I have read probably too much into the fluff line; I was just assuming that the Banshee would collect the entire life force for herself and leave nothing behind for the others.

As for the Cyclops issue, I think that it may be occasionally convenient to have this threat option, and even if he does not hit anything, I could imagine that he would be a bit intimidating on a psychological level. But I have not much experience with the Banebrood, so that is all only theory.
